<br />City Council NIinutes <br />October 15,2001 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />for other expenses such as offices, equipment, and personnel not considered by the <br />committee. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz stated that the city has acquired a lot of parkland that is sitting unused <br />due to time constraints on current staff and that this parkland could be developed quicker if <br />there was a parks director. <br /> <br />Mayor I<Jinzing stated that the $60,000-$80,000 for a parks director was not necessary at this <br />time. She stated that a lower ranking position should be considered before a director is <br />hired; someone that would work under the street superintendent. She did agree with most of <br />the subcommittee's report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin stated that he is concerned with some of the employees listed in the <br />new department (such as the planner) being a duplication of other departmental duties. He <br />felt that the timeline listed in the subcommittee report was too short. <br /> <br />Mr. Klaers stated that coordination of personnel with similar duties, maintenance issues, and <br />the park director position description are issues that need to be worked out. He believes this <br />position would need to be a department head level position. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Council that Ice Arena, Senior Center, and Recreation would fall <br />within the city park and recreation department and under the director. <br /> <br />10.
